About the Center
Childs Park Recreation Center has a long tradition in the South St. Petersburg area for providing classes, youth and teen programs and a place to have social events. Our before school, after school, and summer camps focus on St. Pete Values, a set of values at the core of all of our programs for elementary through middle school youth. Take advantage of our new fitness center, dance room and kitchen facilities. If you are planning a baby shower, anniversary, wedding, corporate gathering, family reunion or any social event, you will find Childs Park Recreation Center and park is a great place to start.
